Would you buy Phoenix Jones a new costume?

Seattle superhero Phoenix Jones announced a few months ago that he wants to upgrade his crime-fighting costume. And now he’s soliciting donations from fans to help pay for the new outfit.

Jones is asking for money via his Facebook page and blog, estimating upgrades will cost about $10,000. Among the items on his wish list: a bulletproof face shield, a live-streaming camera and all-metal fasteners.

“I wanna thank everyone who has donated so far,” Jones wrote recently. “We are at $3,300 and a third of the way to reaching the goal.”

But not everyone is too keen on the so-called super hero’s campaign for new duds.

The Seattle Weekly tells us that some critics have been vocal about Jones’ quest for an upgraded costume, saying he’s driven by ego — and that his $10,000 price tag is over the top. The newspaper interviewed a San Diego superhero who said his own outfit cost about $400.
